Poliakoff is Cultured

The Stage reports that in the autumn season of the BBC's Cuture Show there will be a special edition spotlighting the work of director, playwright, and screenwriter Stephen Poliakoff.

Poliakoff has created a one-off 45-minute television drama, called A Real Summer, that will air as part of his feature on the Culture Show. The piece is centred on a single actress, Ruth Wilson, and is shot on one location. It serves as a prequel to Poliakoff's forthcoming BBC2 drama, Capturing Mary.
